COVID-19 Statement

During this time, we recognize that every family may have different levels of comfort when it comes to participating in activities. Please know that the Oberholtzer family and the Missouri Holstein Association holds the safety of our members and their families as our top priority. As you and your family look to take part in the 2020 Holstein Field Day, we strongly urge members, volunteers, and their families to follow current CDC guidelines when considering attending this event. If you feel uncomfortable or are at high risk feel free not to attend.

The association has been in contact with the county health department and will be following their guidelines. Masks and gloves will be available for anyone who desires to wear them at the event. We will be asking parties (families) to maintain social distancing throughout the event. Individuals handing food will take the necessary precautions and wear masks and gloves.

Everyone is Welcome - Bring a Neighbor!

Lone-Tree Holsteins is owned by Clifford and Louella Oberholtzer of Rutledge, Missouri, which is located in Northern Missouri. Clifford has only been dairying full time for about 6 years. He focuses on highly productive and long-lasting cows. The Obertholtzer's have built a new free-stall barn that houses their 85 cow milking herd. They have also invested in many exciting and solid cow families over the past few years. This has produced a wide range of genetics and a solid base with which to improve his herd. Some cow families we bought into are: Ammon-Peachy Shauna, Apple, Playball MNOM Bounty, Tri-Day Ashlyn, and Shottle Imelda.

We look forward to you joining us July 16, as we open our farm for touring as we showcase our facilities and cow families.

In Memory - John D Sikes
90 - Columbia, MO



John Sikes - University of Missouri

John Dale Sikes, 90 passed away peacefully on June 18, 2020 at The Bluffs in Columbia, Missouri. John was born on March 31, 1930 in Mansfield, Missouri to Dewey and Deatrice (McIntosh) Sikes. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Betty J. Beckley (Visalia, California) and his brother Loyal D Sikes (Mansfield, MO).

After completing his bachelor’s degree in agriculture from the University of Missouri in 1952, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served for four years. Dr. Sikes obtained a master’s degree in dairy husbandry in 1957 and a doctorate in dairy husbandry in 1961 from the University of Missouri (MU). Dr. Sikes joined the faculty at MU as an instructor in 1959 and was a tenured Professor.

Dr. Sikes helped countless students to realize their career potential by sharing his considerable knowledge as an instructor for courses such as Dairy Cattle Judging, Advanced Dairy Cattle Judging, Bovine Breeding, and Semen and Ova processing. Beyond teaching, Dr. Sikes contributed greatly to the dairy industry in Missouri and nationally through his work in dairy cattle breeding, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and general reproductive physiology. Dr. Sikes retired from the University of Missouri in 1995, but continued his work in embryo transfer in the private sector mainly in dairy cattle. Through the years, Dr. Sikes continued to have communication with former students throughout the state and around the world and work on his farms.

Dr. Sikes support of higher education will continue in the form of the “John D. Sikes Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund” for the benefit of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) on the Columbia campus to provide one or more full tuition scholarships to CAFNR students, with preference for students majoring in animal science.

MU Extension - Dairy Science Podcast

There's been a couple questions about this month's Dairy Science Digest Podcast on Goldilock diets

1. Will the Goldilocks diet work with Prairie hay / poor quality Fescue? Yes, however a forage test is needed to make sure the DCAD is correct to maximize the effect. Also, don't forget that KY31 has endophytes that can work against your transition cow, so please make sure it's a novel/friendly endophyte AND free of ergot (a fungus that commonly forms in the seed head)

2. Can I component feed acidified molasses to my close up diet? Yes, however - it will take creative set-ups that are unique to each farm AND a STRONG commitment to monitoring urine pH of close up cows to make sure you're not doing more harm than good.
